About Jennifer
Jennifer Johnson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Utah. She brings 31 years of social work experience to sessions and helps people facing anxiety, stress, depression, relationship strain, and questions about sexual identity. Her approach invites honesty and real conversation about what is not working in life.
Jennifer aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can speak openly. She encourages vulnerability while also offering gentle challenge and direction when needed.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on practical steps people can take to feel more balanced and satisfied. Her background includes two undergraduate degrees from the University of Utah and a Master of Social Work from Smith College. Jennifer has worked across the United States and also teaches at the college level, which informs her broad view of different life experiences.
She works with individuals and couples on relationship and sexual wellness concerns. Topics addressed include intimacy, infidelity, communication, sexual function, sexual variation, and questions of sexuality and gender identity. She adapts methods to each person's needs rather than relying on a single formula.
Therapeutic methods Jennifer commonly uses include attachment-focused work, emotionally focused techniques, mindfulness, and psychodynamic ideas. Her practice emphasizes empathy, steadiness, and practical change so people can move toward more fulfilling lives.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how close relationships shape emotional responses. Online sessions use this approach to help people notice patterns in relationships and build new ways of connecting. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and shift the feelings that drive conflicts in relationships. In remote sessions EFT guides conversations so partners or individuals can name needs and respond differently. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional balance. Short daily practices are easy to integrate between online meetings and can reduce anxiety symptoms.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. That plan can shift over time as needs change, and choices are discussed together so clients feel involved in how therapy proceeds.
Online formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - offer flexibility for different rhythms of life. Video allows face-to-face conversation for deeper emotional work. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging can be used for brief check-ins, homework review, or when a shorter contact is helpful. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and fold therapy into busy schedules.
